They were informed by Mr. Mackintosh that their services would no longer be required, and on being asked by the men how they were to get home, said he guessed they would have to walk, as the company had not agreed to carry them back to town; but if they waited until a train came through from Salt Lake, they could ride. As the men had nothing to eat all day, and as there was little prospect of getting anything at the Summit, and as there was no coal at the section house with which to make a fire, they boys determined to walk back to town. Arthur Canary and a friend were the last to leave, and had not progressed very ;far until they were overtaken by last night's storm, which was a terror up there in the mountains. They struggled along for hours, finally making the stone quarry near Snyderville, where they were taken in, fed and given shelter for the night. They saw nor heard nothing of the other 17 men, and at this writing it is not known what became of them, but it is supposed they are safely housed at some ranch. It looks like a cold-blooded piece of work on the part of the company to take men out into the mountains, work them all day without anything to eat and then turn them loose to get home the best way they could. 50 Years Ago Help Summit County top its Red Cross quota Summit County's war drive for $6,000 is on.

Our soldiers don't do just their "share" but their best We on the home front should do the same, our wounded can't wait, so help the Summit County Chapter meet its 1944 goal. Now that things are looking up for us in all parts of the world, it might be well to pause for a moment and refresh our memories. It wasn't so long ago that a gloomy picture stood before us, portraying the horrors of bombing planes blasting our cities. We were scared to death that hordes of tyrants would land on our shores, slaughter our citizens, violate our wives and daughters and pillage our properties. So we sent Johnny Miller, the boy across the street, out to do the job for us. We picked Johnny Millers out of the schools, the soda fountains, and the grocery stores and sent them to all parts of the world to knock the devil out of those demons who would dare challenge our liberty. Johnny Miller went. He went to the frigid wastes of the Arctic to tangle with the Japs on ice-clad mountain peaks. He went to the jungles of the Pacific to fight a slimy enemy wallowing in swamps like reptiles. He went to the blistering African desert to Italy to Europe to the numerous islands of the Mediterranean. When the smoke of the first battles began to clear around the world and on the high seas, victory seemed to be in sight Johnny Miller had met the test So we cheered and cried, "marvelous job." And then we began to breathe a little easier, for no longer did it look as if our firesides would be threatened or our cities bombed. It appeared quite certain that we would never have to witness the horrible sight of ul ugly Jap' dragging away our j wives and our daughters.

The fate that was Greece's, Poland's and Norway's was not to be ours. The rape of Bataan would never be reenacted in San Francisco and New Yorkers looked up at planes, . not with fear, but with a cheer, for there were our planes filled with Johnny Millers. So we thanked Johnny Miller for doing such a great job of saving our skins. Then some of us began to forget about Johnny Miller, and we seemed to lose that vim and determination with which we were so imbued when our own safety was in danger. But we must not forget that Johnny Miller is still at it, and he still needs our help. He is still at it on the high seas, in the air and under the water. He is still at it in the swamps, on the mountains, deserts and plains. Yes, Johnny Miller is still at it, giving round-the-clock service to his country. The Johnny Millers fight every day for you couldn't you give one day to your local Red Cross to hasten all the Johnny Millers' return home?

Hibbert received a citation from the Treasury Department, honoring the Marsac School pupils and teachers, "for patriotic cooperation rendered on behalf of the War Finance Program." Mrs. James H.

In the meantime you may be interested in knowing that the reports indicate setting a quota in terms of army equipment such as jeeps, rafts, ambulances, planes, etc., has proven to be a real stimulus in the sale of bonds and stamps. As you know, special citations are issued for the purchase of jeeps. Schools selling sufficient bonds to purchase airplanes ranging in price from $15,000 to $450,000 are permitted to have a dedicatory decal placed in the plane indicating that sufficient bonds were sold by the school to purchase it Many of the schools who have purchased planes have received letters from the boys who fly the plane.

The ski slopes at the Park City Resort are for skiing, not for crash landings. Narrowly missing a number of skiers on the Hidden Splendor ski slope, the small aircraft carrying four passengers crashed onto the resort's ski slopes on Sunday about 2 p.m. when the pilot was unable to regain motor power after coasting over the ski runs. None of the passengers aboard the Piper Cherokee plane were seriously injured. The impact with a few aspen trees on the west side of Hidden Splendor and the 100-foot spin down the mountainside ripped away the right wing and both wheels before the aircraft came to rest on its side. Luckily it missed a heavier growth of trees and the high voltage electric lines which carry power for the chair lifts in the area.

He said the craft soared over the ski area in a "nose-up" attitude. Mel Fletcher, ski patrol director, said patrolmen were at the scene moments after the crash. The occupants were given first aid treatment by a skiing doctor and patrolmen before they were taken down the ski slope. The pilot, Jack D. Leavitt of Kamas, and the three passengers, John P. White, Wayne Smith and Carol Bastion, are Brigham Young University students. Leavitt was cut on the forehead; the others suffered varying degrees of shock. The plane reportedly took off from Provo early in the day, flew to Heber City and took off again for a flight over the Park City area. Federal Aviation Administration flight service station reported the plane had not filed a flight plan. It is also reported that young Leavitt had a learner's pilot permit and was not a fully licensed pilot. Sports reporter Dave Kadlcck of the Deseret News was skiing Hidden Splendor at the time of the crash. He reports that skiers spread throughout the area stopped in their tracks to watch the descent of the craft, as it "topped out" at an altitude of 60 feet, the engine sounding like that of a noisy helicopter The engine cut out completely as the plane banked a sharp right (north) turn down the Hidden Splendor slope. A sickening cracking of tree trunks and the ripping away of metal preceded the dull thud of the plane plowing into the snow. Kadleck and his son, Barton, were first on the scene after the crash. About 30 seconds after the plane came to rest, Barton was tugging at the cockpit door. Dr. Fred Chang moved him aside and helped the four students from the wreckage. "I saw the plane coming at me," said skier Frank Falvo of Magna. "I just headed downhill." Within minutes, the ski patrol had a snowcat, a snowmobile and toboggans at the scene.

Park City's 100th birthday. And to celebrate there will be a 12-foot-high, 16-foot-long, 10-foot-widc cake complete with 100 candles, gingerbread models of historic local sites, wooden steps from layer to layer and gobs of frosting. And the best part is that everybody gets a piece of the cake. The cake was the inspiration of former Councilwoman Tina Lewis. The project is being orchestrated by restaurant owner Terry Jannott who has called upon 14 local chefs to bake at least 10 sheet cake pans each of whatever flavor they like. Local construction hands Tim and Rick Sharp built a form for the giant confection and Wednesday afternoon a group of volunteers began fitting the cakes around the form. Alpha Beta's head baker contributed 324 square feet of frosting and under Tracy Shields' direction the high school home economics classes built gingerbread replicas of ten centennial sites to decorate the lower tiers. The top layer will be adorned with a gingerbread rendition of City Hall constructed by Tim Jannott and Wayne Anderson. 'The list of donors is long," said Jannott, who promised to keep his fingers out of the frosting. He said the cake should yield about 1,888 pieces when the Prospectors cut it after the City Hall dedication ceremonies this afternoon. Unique family home or corporate retreat in American Flag. Unbelievable quality construction, extensive patios and decks, beautiful wood and stone work, copper roof, spacious comfortable rooms, walking distance to ski runs.
